Paul Walker’s Daughter Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Porsche

Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow, has just settled her wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche, over her father’s tragic death in November 2013.

18-year-old Meadow Walker is the sole daughter of the deceased film actor, who sued Porsche in 2015 claiming Paul Walker was trapped by a faulty seat belt and burned alive while in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.

It’s been reported byThe Blast Meadow reached a resolution with Porsche on October 16 with terms of the settlement confidential, with both parties requesting the dismissal of the wrongful death case.

Paul Walker died aged just 40, in a high-speed crash which turned the car into a fireball. The fatal incident happened over Thanksgiving weekend in November 2013 after Paul had attended his charity event for typhoon victims.

Meadow’s subsequent lawsuit alleged Porsche knew the Carrera GT had a history of ‘instability and control issues’ and her father was trapped by a faulty seat belt.

The Porsche was going between 80 and 93 mph in a 45 mph zone when it careened off the road, striking a concrete lamp post and two trees before becoming engulfed in flames.

Court documents also showed Paul’s father, Paul William Walker III, also settled his own lawsuit against Porsche. After a year of silence, Meadow has now become vocal on social media.

Meadow was previously awarded $10.1 million in a 2016 settlement from the estate of Roger Rodas. 38-year-old Rodas was behind the wheel of the Carrera GT and also died in the crash.

Paul was filming Furious 7 at the time of his death and his brothers, Caleb and Cody, served as stand-ins to finish his scenes.
